Dear Colour Studies colleagues,
I am beginning a book-length project investigating the use of color in
early medieval manuscripts, using Insular manuscripts as my core focus.
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive colour chart that I can use for my
baseline physical inspections of the manuscripts? Ideally a handbook
that can be taken into manuscript rooms? Carole recommended NCS, but
suggested I email the group. I should add that the book will fully
explore the 'challenges' of using this type of schematic approach to
historic colour, but I need a baseline nonetheless!
All suggestions/advice greatly appreciated!
Best,
Heather
